blog principles

Wow, what a neat idea - check out Katherine at Raising Five. She's got a great list of "blogging principles." Thanks, Katherine, for motivating me to write my list to all my new/one-day readers:

1. Hello – Welcome! Just as I'd love to chat w/ you at my home or on the phone, you're welcome here at my blog. I love hearing comments and also spend a lot of time giving out comments of my own on fellow-blogger sites.

2. Honor – I want to honor God and my family and all new friends/visitors that visit my blog. I ask for you to honor me as I will also try to honor you if I comment on your site.

3. Honesty – I aim to tell you my honest thoughts... sometimes random, sometimes funny, sometimes sobering, sometimes plain-life boring, and sometimes I even hope to step on some toes as a challenge.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm."(Ephesians 6:10-13)

You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, training them up in God's fear, minding the house, and making your household a church for God as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of Hosts. ~Charles Spurgeon

About Me

I'm the wife (since '01) to a wonderful, creative, honest man who is a former youth pastor (turned banker out of necessity). I'm also the mommy of 4 children: 2 on earth and 2 in heaven. My daughter, "Lynn," was born in 7/2003. I miscarried at 11 wks. in 9/2006. My son, "Nathan," was delivered stillborn at 36 wks. in 5/2008. We welcomed our precious "rainbow baby" "Zane" to our family in 11/2009. Despite the spots of quicksand in my life, I try to live each moment graciously, thankful that God's blessings are abundant! The joy and hope that can be found in Him is amazing and leaves me filled with His peace.
